Coming back after the holidays, in a slight haze after days filled with too much romance, wine, friends and cheese, I couldn’t help but notice all the many healthy recipes all around. I mean, all those smoothies and fruit and veggie bowls and scrumptious salads and oh my! Getting back into shape seemed almost as appealing […]

Smoked gammon & broccoli au gratin
in Savoury, Taste -You know how, when it comes to vegetables (or anything, really), you have your star players and your underdogs? Tomatoes, avocadoes, the mighty kale, carrots- they’re all winners, loved by most and consumed enthusiastically. And then you have others, like broccoli and cauliflower which are less fancy, less sparkly, less favoured. So totally unfair. I […]
Goat cheese, gruyère & orzo stuffed pumpkin
in Savoury, Taste -Beware people, pumpkin craziness season is upon us! All sizes, all colours and shapes, some ridiculously overprices, but all so lovely, pumpkins are currently les belles of the ball. You really can’t escape them- but honestly, why would you want to? Sweet in taste and with such deep autumn-y colours, they stand out both as […]
Refreshing pear, lime & mint water
in Small bites, Taste -I know, I know. This weather calls for soups and hearty dishes and our days require heaps of delicious desserts, right? So right. But since the season has so many pretty and delicious vegetables and fruits to offer, we’ll also want to incorporate these as well all in our everyday meals and savour as much as possible, right? Right again.
Falling for fall
in Inspiration -This past Wednesday was a miserable, miserable day. It was raining for like eight hours straight. And the day was dark and blue and depressing and so was my mood. And then yesterday, it got warmer and a little sunny and the night was sweet enough to have drinks outside with two of my girls. […]
Pretty ceramic bowls
in Inspiration -1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 For the past couple of years, when browsing at thrift and vintage stores, instead of looking for cool clothes and accessories, I tend to mostly keep an eye out for things that help fuel my passion (cooking and eating), but most importantly items that […]
Baked sardines
in Savoury, Taste -One of the ingredients from back home I miss the most is fish. Don’t get me wrong- you can find many delicious varieties in London and, since I eat fish at least twice a week, I enjoy them thoroughly. But, there’s something about Greek fish I just can’t get over; maybe it’s that I’ve associated them […]
It’s all good
in Inspiration -During and after my frying session the other day, I realised that one of the reasons I don’t fry things often, is because fried food is largely considered bad for you. And yeah, I get it, all this oil, absorbed by whatever it is you’re cooking, is not the healthiest thing. My meals during the […]
My grandma’s almost ravani
in Desserts, Taste -As I’ve mentioned on yesterday’s post, my grandma was a mess in the kitchen. Yet, she had a recipe book (mostly because she had to, I think) which has now been passed on to me. About a third of it is blank, and although all the recipes are written in her beautiful calligraphic handwriting, quite a […]
Sun dried tomato, halloumi & nectarine sandwich
in Small bites, Taste -I spend about half of the year without tomatoes. It’s a hell of a lot of time, if you ask me. But it’s always worth it. Come late spring, when I’m finally able to get my hands on the first ones of the season, I remember why I need to wait.
